I got a call today saying a little girl in Russia is now my little girl. There are a lot of papers to prepare, and we have to travel to Russia to bring her home, but now it is certain. I think I’ll tell some close friends. Jason is so excited. I haven’t told Steven yet. How can I tell a seven-year-old that he has a sister who is already five years old? January 10: Today I received a picture of Katerina. The picture is small and not very clear, but I look at it over and over again. I don’t know anything else about her. She has lived in a home for children without parents for most of her life. I wonder how I will talk to her. I don’t speak Russian, and she doesn’t speak English. February 1: Today I showed Katerina’s picture to Steven. He is very happy and wants to tell all his friends about his new sister. I want to buy some new clothes for Katerina, but I don’t know her size. I haven’t received any information from the adoption organization, and I’m feeling a little worried. February 16: Finally!

In fact, he is able to help her talk with Jason and me. I am worried about how Katerina will be in school. Next week she will start school. How will she speak with the other children? How will she understand her teacher? March 21: Katerina looks much better now. She is heavier, her hair looks good, and her skin is clear. She loves to watch television with her brother, and she has learned to roller-skate. She is doing well in school, and her English gets better every day. Although she sometimes looks sad, and sometimes cries, most of the time she is happy. I think she is slowly getting used to her new life with us. After only three months, I can’t believe I could ever live my life without her. 21. Who is Katerina? A. Steven’s elder si ... ...
